Hello again, friends! I'm back with your new copy of the Boulder Daily, fresh off the presses. Let's get this week started off right, with a quick review of the most important things happening around town.

Monday's weather: Plenty of sunshine. High: 86 Low: 57.

📢 I'm looking for business owners and marketers in Boulder who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Boulder Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that's you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top stories today in Boulder:

  1. Boulder Shelter is set to lease the Mary Sandoe House. The Boulder Shelter for the Homeless recently announced that it is leasing the former Mary Sandoe House in south Boulder, and could potentially use the facility to provide housing for senior-age women. (Yahoo!)
  2. Hotels are in short supply. Lots of people want to visit the Colorado mountains, but staying in a hotel isn't always the best option. That's caused a rift in many of the region's mountain communities, as they struggle to provide enough housing for locals. (Summit Daily)
  3. Colorado's fastest growing cities. This study looks at growth across the state between 2017 and 2021. Most of the cities included on this list won't be a surprise as to which ones have grown the fastest. (Redfin)
  4. Musicians Joan Jett and Sia are part of a group that invests $17.5M in pet food company. Boulder-based Bond Pet Foods is a startup that makes pet food with proteins developed through a process of fermentation instead of meat. The company is planning to construct a 15,000-square-foot facility in Boulder. (Yahoo!)
  5. Warmer temperatures returning this week. After a cool weekend, warmer temperatures are returning, and metro Denver could see its 65th day over 90 degrees day this year. (FOX31)

  • Citizenship Class: Boulder Public Library. (5:30 p.m.)

From my notebook:

  • CU's Bike Fest encouraged students and faculty to access sustainable transportation. (CU Independent)
  • This is an older study, but it's still valid when it comes to heavier vehicles and the damage they cause on our roads. (NBER)
  • The Boulder County Public Health COVID-19 Food Delivery program wins award. The BCPH department won Pinnacle Award for INCLUSION. Food insecurity, as well as other important issues like workers' rights and rent assistance, were some of the common resources that helped area residents during the pandemic. (BOCO)

Now you're in the loop and ready to head out the door on this Monday. I'll see you Tuesday morning with a brand new edition of the Boulder Daily! — Brad K. Evans
